Basic Alpine Climb - Mount Ellinor (winter)

“FOR TRAINING ONLY – NOT AN ACTUAL TRIP”

We will meet at the lower car park at 7:00 am check  everyone's gear and be on the trail at 7:30am.  

“FOR TRAINING ONLY – NOT AN ACTUAL TRIP''

This trip will be a fun conditioning trip, with a pace of around 2 mph. As it is a conditioning trip, we will see how the team goes and if we need to change the pace as we go, then we will.    

Trip reports from last week said the trail was easy to find, but snowshoes where a must, as lots of deep fresh snow. Leaders with have maps downloaded if the trail is not easy to find, but it's a good idea to have a look yourself before the trip and have your own navigation. Conditioning hikes can be a great time to refresh all skills including navigation.  Please plan to bring snowshoes, I will keep an eye on the conditions and trip reports and let you know if that changes the night before.

Ice axes, helmets and the 10 essentials are a must.  If you have any questions about how to use an ice axe, please let me know in your request to join email.
